Our family has enjoyed playing board games for years. Chess has always been a fun way to teach strategy and healthy competition. When we were chosen to receive and review Fun Family Chess from Brain Blox we were very excited. We couldn't wait to try it out and see what fun and innovative ways this company has come out with to help others learn this educational but also entertaining game.
Brain Blox calls Fun Family Chess "Earth's most dandy and delightful, refreshingly refined, easy-peasy way to learn chess." I have to say I agree. Board games help to bring families together in a way that digital games can't. You are more engaged when sitting around a table with no distractions playing a game with your family. Time and time again we have had many wonderful conversations over a good game of chess. I feel it brings old fashion fun to your family's game night.
The Fun Family Chess set includes:
- Folding Wooden Chess Board
- 32 Wooden Chess Pieces
- 2 Soft Pouches (to keep your chess pieces in)
- Full Color Chess Book
- 2 Reference Cards
- Chess Cube
So you are probably wondering what sets this game of chess ahead of others? Well it is the way they teach. It is taught in such a way that will help you learn the pieces and how they move in a fun way. You always begin by setting up your pieces and setting out your reference cards and cube. Right from the start you learn that the "light" side goes first. That means the pieces that are lighter in color will make the first move.
I am not really good at explaining exactly how to use this unique way so I am going to post a video for you to watch explaining it in detail. I wouldn't want to confuse you in any way or keep you from trying this great game because of my lack of skills to explain how it works.
Our family tried this method a few times to get a look into how it worked and they were very impressed. It was so easy to follow and really did help you learn all about the game of chess. The Roll, Match, Move method was a simple way to demonstrate how to play chess. My kids said they wish they would have had this when they were first learning. I know once the grandbabies are old enough, I will be using this with them.
You know what is even more wonderful about this set? Once you have mastered the art of playing chess, this board can also be used for standard games. You just won't use the reference cards or cube when playing. This game can be used for years to come and when you have a new player come along, you can teach them with this tried and true method.
